What's it all about? The Boxing for Fitness course is designed to educate and assist Fitness Leaders, Personal Trainers, and Gym Instructors on how to properly conduct, structure, and teach Boxing classes to their clients in all types of environments. The course covers a wide range of topics associated with boxing and fitness with an emphasis on injury prevention, correct punching techniques, and pad holding. We take the principles of professional boxing training as well as the principles of functional fitness training and combine them to form a unique training regime. Mainly we steer away from the concept of fighting in the ring and show how this type of training can help you achieve your desired results.

Why do the course?

The THUMP course will help expand your knowledge and imagination when it comes to organizing and instructing boxing and circuit classes while giving you the qualifications and accreditation needed to teach them both.

The Department of Sport and Recreation highly recommends that all Fitness Leaders should seek some form of specific qualifications (further to the standard certificate III and certificate IV) when instructing boxing.

You will learn many techniques and strategies to teaching and setting up boxing and circuit classes for athletes, sport team, and general gym participants using your own skills and imagination instead of following pre-choreographed routines.

What are the benefits to you Clients and class participants?

It's no secret that boxing training is one of the most effective ways to benefit people in all areas of their health and fitness regime. With boredom and motivation playing a major role in whether your clients stick to their goals or not these workouts have proven to be the most successful for people wanting to reach their targets.

How many CEC's and PDP's do you gain?

You will be able to receive 8 CEC's and 2 PDP's on completion of the course. These CEC's are recognised nationally with Fitness Australia and the PDP's with Kinect Australia.
